The tines on this grappling hooks are heat treated hard enough to be strong, but are left ductile enough to fail by opening up rather than breaking. Finished with a black, baked on epoxy finish for long lasting protection.

This hook is also useful for arborists wishing to gain stability during tree manuevers. By casting the hook out over a distant branch, the arborist is able to pull and gain purchase on a line over a branch or through a crotch that might be otherwise unatainable.
